Pinned Review

James Blake - James Blake
7

y'know, i've always wondered what channel ORANGE would be like if it sucked, and this album answers that terrifying lucid dream
like at a certain point, it stops feeling like an aesthetic choice and it starts feeling like he just doesn't know how to use vocal compression or de-essing
or how to layer vocal harmonies without them clipping or getting crushed and oppressing the mix
or add in sub bass without it swallowing the rest of the instrumentation
or starting a vocal passage with an idea of ... read more

Tame Impala - Currents
68

Normally I like writing longer reviews but literally all I can think to say is that this is music for people who made Stranger Things their whole personality. It's a crispy and modern take on psychedelia and 80 pop music, with memorable hooks for unmemorable songs. I totally see the appeal, just not for me.

Polyphia - Neurotica
55

For better or worse, this sounds like if Marshmello produced a math rock track. It's okay, it's easy on the ears, but I can't for the life of me remember much about it.

HEALTH - DISCO4 :: PART II
49

In my eyes, DISCO4 :: PART II serves as baby's first industrial record. If you like rock music or even some heavier EDM subgenres, this is a good introduction to industrial aesthetics.

The production on DISCO4 :: PART II is quite easy on the ears compared to some of the artists ... read more

Imagine Dragons - Mercury – Act 2
36

The biggest crime that Mercury - Act 2 commits is being incredibly uninteresting. The three-track run from "I'm Happy" to "Peace Of Mind" are the songs that jump out to me as being the worst, but beyond that, I have very little to comment on with this record. I'm a little sad to say that there aren't *any* surprises here, good or bad.

Drake -  Honestly, Nevermind
37

I saw an Instagram post last night that said that this album came out 9 months after Certified Lover Boy, and that means this album is the baby. If that's the case, then both the title and the sound of Honestly, Nevermind demonstrate that Drake is yet again being a neglectful and disinterested father.

This project sounds like being a bouncer outside of a sketchy, dingy nightclub. The kicks are mixed far forward, the hihats lightly flavor the music, the vocals sound thin and scratchy to the ... read more
